Description:Measurements provided by Next Generation Weather Radar and operational thunderstorm monitoring instruments at the Kennedy Space Center and the Air Force Eastern Range have been examined to determine the initial electrical development of 13 isolated, air mass thunderstorms. The same instruments were used to examine the surface potential gradient prior to and following 13 long, horizontal discharges that propagated into the area. The motivation and primary objective for this work was to evaluate the safety of the existing lightning-related launch constraints associated with surface potential gradient and precipitation radar measurements. The onset of cloud electrification as seen by a large-area surface electric field mill network was
